Utilizing the same features
that have made the Hi-Mod Mechanical fittings popular, this insulator has
an internal ball-socket in the main body that threads onto the connecting
stud. The nut is insulated from the stainless steel body by a Tufnol™
socket, preventing electrical transference to the insulator body or
opposite terminal. Should, for any reason, the Tufnol™ be compromised,
the nut will bottom out against the stainless housing. While the backstay
will loosen, the insulating studs will remain attached to the insulator
body-allowing the rig to be re-tensioned until a repair can be made.
